It's starting to look pretty scary for March 20th, 2012, with the whole collapse in Greece. They're saying that they are trying to do it in an orderly fashion and include everyone in on their particulars so as to NOT trip off the whole world economy, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteOutside of that, and barring an attack or some sort of disaster, I'd say our economy can't make it through another 6-8 months. Add to that that the elections are in November, and I don't put it past politicians to do whatever it takes to keep their man in power, be it staging something or instituting marshal law, as they have been preparing to do and drilling for anyway, I'd say by September, 2012 we'll see things happening.
i think the trigger will be syria. assad will feel the need to strike out at israel soon to relieve the pressure at home. israel will take the opportunity to hit iran. resulting turmoil sinks europe. great depression 2 results. america actually makes it okay for awhile, being a safe haven. but eventually america will be dragged into it too. after the apocalypse, in the new age, they'll point to syria as the start of it all. i guess it'll happen nlt end of march.
ReplyDeleteI think the trigger will be if Barack Obama is not re-elected as president. The majority that receive government subsidies will truly believe that a conspiracy was enacted to remove their savior. That subsidized majority will then feel they have the right to take whatever they want from those that have. The ensuing chaos will be the trigger event that suddenly opens the eyes of those that have had their head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteWall street will speculate the price of fuel to the point that the economy will implode.
ReplyDeleteLone gunman sets up outside the stock exchange, begins picking off brokers as they exit. Starting a cascade of related incidences, targeting bankers , lawyers etc.
Government retaliates by declaring martial law, game over....
There are so many variables, it is hard to pick one. I think it will be a culmination of occurrences such as Israel preempting Iran, Syria, the next bailout of Greece, The sound Dollar Act, high gas prices, more loss of jobs, martial law, and big Brother watching you even more.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't think there will be a "collapse" as most people think it, but closer to a settling. The tired old cliche of the frog in the pot of water is still a very good illustration. Right now, we are in hot water, if they allowed the temp to rise up suddenly, we would jump out. They are doing this systematically, slowly. There are still way too may people armed in this country. If they allowed something to cause it to come crashing down, people would revolt. So they will probably try and make sure it comes down slowly, losing a bit of liberty at a time, using all the fear in the situation to cause people to be willing to give up liberty a small piece at a time for a few more years, in exchange for the promise of security.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, there will be huge problems come up, hyper inflation, war, famine, etc, but I expect it to be more controlled, and them to use the problems, to get the majority to submit. And one day in a few years, we will all wake up and wonder how we ever came to live in the USSA.
Going with that, I think we have already started the decent, its already starting to settle.
I believe Israel will bomb Iran, touching off WW3 some time around September 1, 2012. Martial law will be declared, elections will be suspended - at least American national offices. Sheeple will stream into FEMA camps for rations and shelter. Guns and ammo will be confiscated, and I will die.
ReplyDeleteI believe some time before September 11, 2012 that Israel will attack Iran, touching off WW3. Martial law will be declared with suspension of elections. Sheeple will stream into FEMA camps begging for food and shelter. Guns and ammo will be confiscated, and I will die defending my family from the government.
ReplyDeleteI think the it's going to be just before or shorlty after the election I think the stock market is going to crash, the people and the sheeple are going to be fed up enough to start resisting the government which will be when martial law is put into effect and the chaos will continue until then.
ReplyDeleteI think we've already travelled quite far down the path of collapse. Some events make people look up from their horoscopes and visa bills, taking notice for a short time, but it's really just sound bites for them between between sporting events. Collapse is a long slow series because those with power and money want things to go on as long as possible. But it's here now, we are in the middle of it.
ReplyDeletethe collapse will happen after 2012 elections. Ron Paul will not get elected and the dollar will crash shortly after that. There will be martial law and civil unrest.
